The Lord says this about the prophets who teach his people the wrong way of living:

“If these prophets are given food to eat,
    they shout, ‘Peace!’
But if someone doesn’t give them what they ask for,
    they call for a holy war against that person.
So it will become like night for them, without visions.
    It will become dark for them, without any way to tell the future.
The sun is about to set for the prophets;
    their day will become dark.
The seers will be ashamed;
    the people who see the future will be embarrassed.
Yes, all of them will cover their mouths,
    because there will be no answer from God.”

This is what the Lord says:

“As for the prophets
    who lead my people astray,(A)
they proclaim ‘peace’(B)
    if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
    who refuses to feed them.
Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
    and darkness, without divination.(C)
The sun will set for the prophets,(D)
    and the day will go dark for them.(E)
The seers will be ashamed(F)
    and the diviners disgraced.(G)
They will all cover(H) their faces(I)
    because there is no answer from God.(J)
